Clay......we'd need a closer look but I'm pretty sure it's goes with the bike......but maybe we'd need another thread? Unit Single rear fender loop? Posted to the BSA board? I think it's the rear fender's that's either not stock or has been modified?

60's ( Asian) rear racks can be adapted pretty easily.

You got a couple of flat bars maybe 3" (ish) with a hole in each end in your spares?

I love the quality of your video... What camera are you using ?

Here you go - my BSA 250 C10 L. It is in need of restoring only as a survivor. I picked this up down South of Western Australia. Once all is done and dusted (restored) I will be riding it in the IHC Indian & Harley Vintage club, at their side valves events-bush track rides, etc.

Do you wear the uniform while riding the bike? Very evocative photos; I like it.

My latest build.
I had enough parts to build a bike. 1970 A65L with various parts found in the shed.

A65T guts all over the bench, b44 project on right
Note the electric heater pointed at the compressor under the bench back right. Won't fire with the normal temp level of the garage in winter....and kerosene heater over by the derelict t150v

Looks great in starfire livery. Love it!

I had a NOS Starfire tank and loved that Orange and Bronze combo so had it clear coated and carried that theme through the guards and 650 transfer. Had a Colorado Norton Works front guard which looked cool, strengthened it around the bolt holes and built a stainless bracket. Has T140 disc front end and matching gauges. Handle bars were the subject of a discussion on the Hornet page recently and have the cable guides. Rear X75 Borrani rim left over from Hurricane resto's. I think the only substantial item I had to buy was the front Excel rim.

Good job Mr. Snot,
How about a picture of that WC Hornet behind it.

Here's mine . I've sold my Ariel , matchless and B44 but kept these two and my Ducati .

My 67 West Coast Hornet I restored a few years ago. The ET ignition caused me huge grief and I ended up replacing it with capacitor discharge and tiny Lithium battery.. It now starts first kick and pulls very strongly. Must be all that compression!

And a 1966 East Coast Hornet that I got a young friend of mine to help me restore last year. It got him hooked on bikes which is great. The colour of these images doesn't do it justice. Mandarin Red.

I have just started the dry build of a 71 R3 Grey frame. I have had it for 10 years and had the engine completed for 5 years. Engine has lightened crank, Beadling 850 kit, Carillo rods, Madigan starter, 5 speed box and a slick head from Charlie Barnes with Mikuni's. Very exciting!

Don't the new Girling discs look hot! Mating them with Brembo calipers.

Here's a partial pic of my 66 A65T Thunderbolt in Blue. As seen in pretty darn good company at Gordon's Beach Run back in March of this year (2022).
This bvike was nearby and I'd been keeping an eye out for a BSA when this came up on F B market place... really crappy phone pix at first but when he posted better pix, I was on it. Mostly original, only thing done to it was (I THINK) some rewiring and maybe also a Boyer added.

My 1948 BSA B32 Competition

That's a GoPro Hero 5. I traded an RC10B4 for the camera, but set it so the view isn't so wide out of the box and set the wind cancelling on all the time (so you don't hear it switch back & forth). Stereo sounds better, but when it uses that for wind cancelling it's... weird. There's a lot of other vids where you can hear it go back & forth.

It has a lot of additional functionality that I haven't explored yet, including GPs (?).

Clay

Just completed 1967 A65L.

B40 (part of...)

New to me!
Bought on a picture from an email with little information. The gamble was not that it ran but that it might be a 500 let alone a GS!

1953 BSA BB34 Gold Star Touring

Fired up with a 376 donor carb, cleaning the mag points and some oil...and getting the engine to turn over after diagnosing a stuck piston.

Great looking project.

I fitted one, after using it I don't find it much use for cold starts but its essential for those parked for 10 mins starts where the carb has got hot. But as soon as it catches you need to get the choke off rapidly or it 8 strokes.

Hi,

Have been visiting this site for maybe 20 years? I think I had an account once, but I just got a new one yesterday.

I have a '66 A65L I've been riding and repairing since I got it from a friend about 20 years ago. Have blown up the motor twice in that time. I use to ride it around NYC, then I moved to Philly, now I live in San Jose CA. I treat it a bit more gently than I used to ;-0

Last time I refreshed it was 2011. I hit a serious pothole in the desert canyons and destroyed the front wheel recently. I have it up on the table now doing a major going-through and thought I'd post. If you want to look at all the geeky details of the build, go here.

Some of you may recognize me from other forums over the years. I've built a few motors for others that turned out really well. I work on mostly Harleys and brits and do EVERYTHING myself because, well, I like to and I don't care for most of the work I've seen from shops (trying to learn diplomacy as I get older).

Jason

Right after a full nitpicky rebuild in my Philly shop. Had blown the cases on it the year before.
